Q9:
Studies in restaurants show that the tips left by customers who pay their bill in cash tend to be larger when the bill is presented on a tray that bears a credit-card logo.  Consumer psychologists hypothesize that simply seeing a credit-card logo makes many credit-card holders willing to spend more because it reminds them that their spending power exceeds the cash they have immediately available.

Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the psychologists’ interpretation of the studies?

A.    The effect noted in the studies is not limited to patrons who have credit cards.
B.    atrons who are under financial pressure from their credit-card obligations tend to tip less when presented with a restaurant bill on a tray with credit-card logo than when the tray has no logo.
C.    In virtually all of the cases in the studies, the patrons who paid bills in cash did not possess credit cards.
D.    In general, restaurant patrons who pay their bills in cash leave larger tips than do those who pay by credit card.
E.    The percentage of restaurant bills paid with given brand of credit card increases when that credit card’s logo is displayed on the tray with which the bill is prepared.

Q8

R does not care if its current employees will need expensive treatment for high cholestrol in the FUTURE since by that time, these employees are neither R's employee nord its concern any more.

To use layman's language, let's say R's employees only stay for 2 years, while G's employees stay for 10 years. But the treatment of high cholesterol won't start until the fifth year. R does not need to worry about its CURRENT employees' health in this respect, because by the fifth year, all these employees (and potential bills to cure their diseases) are not R's liabilities.  These employees packed and left three years ago.
